Q: Now that energy stocks are going out of favour, it's time to start looking at the what might be attractive from a valuation point. I'm looking for a US energy company (not XOM or CVX): what are your thoughts on DVN and PXD? Is one preferable or do you have another suggestion? Thanks.

Q: Hi, Could you please comment on the quarterly/annual results released today., which appears to be strong. Company also seems to be committing to regular and special dividends through 2024, and returning 50-90% of FCF to shareholders !! Sweat !!! There has been so much pessimism about TOU and NG producers, recently. Do you expect the stock to recover and see better price action, over next 12-18 months ? Thanks

Q: In a response to Cal yesterday regarding ENB you stated that the loss of Line 5 "would certainly be a materially negative event for the company". I am trying to determine if this should result in my cutting back on my full position of ENB (5%). So I would appreciate it if you could expand on what a "materially negative impact" means. Also, do you have an opinion on the likelihood that Line 5 will be shut down?
Thank you.
Note I thought I had sent this question yesterday but a tech glitch may have prevented it being sent.

Q: I am optomistic that Peter and Eric Nuttall are bullish on the gas sector, as in the 5i reply to Kevin's query (Feb 27). What are your views on XES? Technically, it looks like it has a huge runway to the upside ...Thanks....Lionel

Q: Hi 5i,
I have a meaningful stake in WCP and am nicely in the green. I also have what I worry may be an irrational faith in its future prospects and its management, regardless of predictions that the energy sector will begin (or should I say continue?) to underperform in the not-too-distant future.
So, I'm looking for a reality check.
I have recently read elsewhere that WCP's debt, both short and long term, while presently manageable, is of a magnitude to potentially cause WCP significant problems that may well negatively impact both its share price and dividend if its revenues decrease by the amounts some are predicting over the next year and beyond.
Although I understand that there is 'good' debt and 'bad' debt and can both tell the difference in my personal life, and recognize how it is affecting me, analyzing the debt of a specific company in relation to its current and anticipated future revenues, CAPEX, FCF, EPS, P/E, etc. etc. is beyond me.
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on the future prospects of WCP in this context.
Thanks.
Peter

Q: I'm thinking to sell FRU for a tax loss and add to WCP. Eric Nuttal mentioned WCP is increasing their dividend? Where would one find this info?
I'm seeing conflicting info on dividend yields, on this platform as well, where is the most up to date place to search for yield info?

Do you have any other picks than WCP to consider for an income investor for a long term bullish oil play?
